Shaving cream

‘In practice, you can see that the right shaving cream not only saves time but also prevents razor irritation instantly – you can feel the difference in the chair.’

This collection of shaving creams has been specially developed to tackle common problems such as skin irritation, ingrown hairs and rough shaving. No wasted time and no hassle at the sink – just fast, smooth and reliable results, exactly what you expect in the salon.

Choose quickly

• For fast and effortless lather without the hassle, use a shaving foam such as Proraso White Shaving Foam 50ml.
• For maximum hydration of sensitive skin, choose a tube of shaving cream such as Proraso White Shaving Cream Tube 150ml.
• If you mainly need glide for heavy stubble, choose a full shaving cream such as Proraso Green Shaving Cream Tube 150ml.
• For travel or a compact format, choose a convenient mini foam such as Proraso Red Shaving Foam Mini 50ml.
• If you want to practice technique or enjoy a traditional experience, choose a shaving soap bowl such as Proraso White Shaving Soap Bowl 150ml.

The problem

In practice, many barbers or professionals simply grab standard products off the shelf. This often leads to unnecessary redness, razor drag or extra time per customer. With the right products, shaving is faster, smoother and more comfortable – time after time.

Why people choose incorrectly

Professionals often choose foam blindly out of habit. However, the difference between a light foam, a full cream or a classic soap is crucial for skin integrity and a smooth shaving motion. Choosing the right type of product makes every shave more effective.

Types within this collection

• Shaving foam: ready to use, voluminous, fast and easy
• Shaving cream in a tube: rich, hydrating, ideal for sensitive skin
• Shaving cream in a squeeze jar or bowl: extra full, long-lasting protection and optimal glide
• Shaving soap bowl: traditional, control, maximum lather with a brush
• Butter and vegetable soap: for special hydration or fragrance experience

How to choose the right one

Professional choice starts with an honest assessment of skin type, desired speed and the level of control you need over the lather.

For maximum speed and comfort, you can use a foam such as Proraso Blue Shaving Foam 300ml, especially if you shave often or want to use less technique.

For sensitive skin or if you want extra care, choose a rich shaving cream such as Dapper Dan Shave Cream 150ml.

Key differences

• Shaving foam: fast, practical, less control over lather thickness
• Shaving cream tube/jar: rich lather, optimal protection, quick to apply
• Shaving soap bowl: requires technique, maximum lather control
• Butter or vegetable soap: ideal for extra hydration or fragrance
